Interest in the following sets of issues:

Interest in the following sets of issues:

1. heterogeneity of knowledge (bits of knowledge, more or less combinable), of the sources of change (i.e. individuals, firms, industries, regions, countries), of the interactions between these sources (market-based, network-based, etc.), and of the characteristics of these interactions (frequency, regularity, etc.)

2. variety in innovation (from the more radical to the more incremental), and in regimes of innovation (entrepreneurial mode versus accumulation mode)

3. generation of different paths of growth, with some leading to smart, inclusive, and sustainable growth

=> The summerschool is intended to provide an advanced understanding of these issues, as well as of the link between the issues

Presenting your own work as PhD student or young researcher, and getting comments and recommendations on how to get published

Being updated on what’s happening in social sciences (economics, management, geography, social economics, etc.), but also in other sciences (computer science, biology) as they provide key tools in the treatment of the relationships between knowledge, innovation and development (social network analysis, evolutionary models, agent-based modelling)

Statistical analysis of the dynamics of firms characteristics and firms localization, social network analysis, agent based modelling, patent analysis

General lectures (1h30): speakers will give a general overview of major contributions in the literature, including the more recent developments

Methodological or technical lectures (1h30): speakers will give a focus on a specific methodology or technique that is particularly useful in understanding recent developments in the literature

Research and publication sessions (30-40 minutes per student): students will present their research and will get comments and feedbacks from the speakers, including recommendations on how to get published
